i was thinking about stuff tonight, and i realized i dont really care that much about 68k's anymore (except my performa 578) and I really never post anything here that means something to anybody else anyway.

Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

PS: Cory, this is not because of our little flame-session. this has been coming for a while.

oh with me a flame session basically means nothing it happens all of the time and I basically remember not to put much meaning into it...

anyway... good luck "finding yourself" and worst comes to worse, a valuable member stops posting, if worst comes to best, you keep posting at your nicn' steady rate...

either way good luck.

remember, and this is THE selling point I like to use, I've seen other people use it too... you don't HAVE to like, or use 68ks to come here, and be liked, and like the people and the community, it's a forum where youc an talk about them though...

One of the other things I'd like to say is that even if you do decide that the MLA just isn't the right forum for you, remember that you don't have to forget any of the good friends you may have made here

will cory have reached 5412 by then? i hope i dont miss the "CoryExplosion" that we've all been waiting for since last year...

i just realized ill be out of town in two weeks, so it'll be august 1 when i return. i might lurk, but i wont post.

you said a road trip...

so On August 1, I want you to send an eMail to cory5412@ureach.com and I'll be unblocking you from my AIM account... I want you to have an unclouded view of things during your 2 week period of finding yourself...

As for posting amounts, I believe that you don't need to post a lot to have an impact on the community in general. If you have something to add, then post it. If you don't, or don't feel like posting, then don't. Thus is the mantra of the forum lurker.

Why not just read the threads when you feel like it, and reply if you feel like it? No one is making you post?

This is a good and relaxed attitude to take.

Just do whatever makes you happy

p.s. Shak, this is a good opportunity for you to pull another Buddha quote! He must have something good to say about a situation like this.

I hope you come back.

1) i am not leaving because of cory. i just need to step away from it and not be so active because i dont really get anything out of this forum anymore... not that you guys arent great on AIM, and i hope you will continue to be.

2) I am still a computer packrat, i will take anything with a processor and put it in my Computer Lab.

3) im not mad at anybody! please dont get that impression. I just want to lurk. i'll comment if i really really have something to say. Otherwise dont expect me to post.

see you all in august. I'll come back, i promise.

Come and check it out.

anyway... it's just like with me and places like applefritter, MAF and (many other forums)

if you want to leave, you don't have to tell us..

Thank you, llama, for telling people that it's not because of me...

I think that the forums in general have drifted away from the hardcore 68k getting and slipped into a bunch of "veterans" bumming around shooting the breeze in the VFW post 3823143729048.

Yes. I have noticed this too. When I first came here, nearly every thread was about 68ks. PPCs where considered contraband and PCs where considered unmentionable garbage.

I'm not sure what has changed, but I do miss the old 68kMLA.

many other forums have just too many members who are all "Postcount++;"

I joined here because I wanted to talk with people who use the old 68ks. Most apple forums are all about OSX era machines with a few beiege g3/PCI macs.

Now I need to find a good Apple IIgs forum (I already found a nice DOS game forum, and 2 Amiga/EMU related forums).

I like reto pc's

OK, I am on the outside of this one, but my $0.02 on lurking.

A lot of times, I dont have time to post, or the computer I am on is too slow to post with. these are the times I lurk. Lurking is perfectly acceptable, IMHO.

As for the rest of this kind of thing, I find it best to step back, view from a distance, and take with a grain of salt.
